Actress & LCO | Hugh Tieppo-Brunt

★★★★ “…flipped the relation between electronic musician and orchestra on its head: it was like a jolt of electricity.” Financial Times

A unique collaboration commissioned and curated by Boiler Room and the London Contemporary Orchestra pairing producer Darren Cunningham, aka Actress, with the LCO. This world-first performance of the live show presented brand new material as well as expanded arrangements (written by Hugh Tieppo-Brunt) of Actress’ dark and brooding electronica.

“Brought into the broad chasm of the Barbican Hall, [Actress’] dense arrangements feel pried open; elements that were once laminated together are peeled apart, and oxygen rushes into the gaps as if an airlock has been broken.” The Wire

★★★★ “The triumph lay in the deconstruction and re-contextualisation of electronic sounds within a world-renowned concert space.” Resident Advisor
